Ikegami Honmonji Temple Walking Tour in Tokyo

A calm and wonderful place in Tokyo

It was a very relaxing experience, guided by a local resident. But September in Japan is extremely hot. Kuzumochi was very delicious

Historic Temple・traditional Japanese garden＆ Eating around at a shopping strip

A beautiful and relaxed off the beaten track view of Tokyo

We wanted to see some of Tokyo before starting a Japan cruise in April 2025, so one we chose was the Historic Temple, Japanese landscape garden, & Togoshi-Ginza shopping street with Miyuki, because it sounded like a tour to see life in Tokyo but not the busy & crowded tourist places. We were not disappointed! Miyuki gave us good directions on how to meet her from our hotel and we had no problems. She was there waiting for us. She speaks very good english and asked us what we like and how she could show us things in our interest. We chose to see the temple, some gardens, the lovely walking & shopping street and ended the day enjoying Sakura (cherry blossom viewing) along a lovely river in Tokyo. It was our first time to Tokyo and Miyuki's tour was the perfect intro. While other places in Tokyo had hoards of tourists at peak Cherry Blossom time, we went to the beautiful Honmonji Temple and gardens and it was like our own personal place. You can see in the pictures how quiet our tour place was. We can comfortably highly recommend Miyuki and her tours for first timers like us, or if you are returning to Tokyo and would like to see its beauty in a less "touristy" way. It was a day we will remember as a highlight of visiting Japan.
